This report presents distressing results for the South of Scotland. Essential services are under significant pressure and communities are faced with digital isolation, cost-of-living challenges and limited employment opportunities. The SNP must take urgent action.

What a speech from @KemiBadenoch! Inspirational, passionate and heartfelt. We have a party preparing to govern. A leader ready to lead. A plan to fix our country and get Britain working again. Kemi spoke with conviction, courage and love for our country. A true patriot, determined to serve every part of our United Kingdom and all its people. I’m proud to stand with her.
The Right Way. @KemiBadenoch's speech in full 👇

Oil & gas is vital for Aberdeen’s survival, yet Labour and the SNP refuse to support it. Thousands of skilled jobs are being lost while Britain relies on expensive imports, it doesn’t make sense. We need to Get Britain Drilling.

Full interview with @SHRCChair Angela O'Hagan about her report finding basic human rights are not being met in the south of Scotland on tonight's @ITVBorderRB.
D & G and the Borders are often forgotten in the great centralisation. Having to travel miles for health provision, schools not providing courses and pupils being transported to schools tens of miles away to do classes if they want to follow particular careers.

Scottish Conservative leader Russell Findlay: "After almost three decades of devolved government, our common-sense plans to fix what's not working will continue to put the people of Scotland first.”
Kemi Badenoch will order a review of devolution which will consider withdrawing powers from the Scottish Parliament if she wins the next general election. dailymail.com/news/article-1…

Common sense from @KemiBadenoch, a leader who gets Scotland and stands up for our place in the Union. A well deserved shout out to @DLumsden_MP and @RussellFindlay1 after campaigning tirelessly to champion our oil and gas industry and the jobs it supports, the Tories are back!

NHS services in Dumfriesshire are at breaking point due to delayed discharge - with one in four beds occupied by a patient ready to for discharge if social care support can be found. Today I asked John Swinney for urgent support from the Scottish Government.

The SNP have never accepted the 2014 Independence Referendum result. John Swinney and his separatist friends want to break up Britain. Join the campaign to tell them NO. 👉 scottishconservatives.com/ne…

❗️BREAKING NEWS: After my letter to the Home Office, plans to house asylum seekers on St Peter Street have been CANCELLED. A win for concerned Aberdeen residents and common sense.

Yesterday's update from NHS Dumfries and Galloway lays bare the pressures facing our local health service. Staff are working tirelessly, but too many beds are being occupied by patients who are ready to leave hospital and would be better supported elsewhere if appropriate care was available. This is not a new problem. The SNP pledged to end delayed discharge by 2015, yet communities across Scotland continue to see the consequences of that broken promise. Patients deserve better, families deserve better, and staff deserve better. The Scottish Government must urgently address the shortage of social care capacity and provide the resources needed to ease pressure on our NHS ahead of another challenging winter.

From Chapel Cross to Dounreay, Scotland has a proud history of nuclear power. Power that Scots support. I do not want any part of Great Britain to miss out on the global nuclear revolution that is underway. That is why we will legislate to ensure that Scotland can host new nuclear power generation.

Great discussion with Jeremy Clarkson and Charlie Ireland on stage at #cpc26. Ministers and those who advise them should prioritise spending more time listening to experts like Charlie. His knowledge is second to none.
